One more thread to complain about the soul-crushing placard spamming

As for a lottery, it would never solve the long term problem of not enough available houses. Players would go from complaining about the timer to complaining about how they never get a house because they have to compete against so many other players. Better to encourage SE to address the issue of housing availability in general instead of asking them to spend their development time creating complex new systems that won't solve the core problem.

if we take a normal lottery yes
Lets say its like loot rolls in dutys and add an additonal 5 for every time you failed to win a house and people trying either long time would get a higher chance or people with enought money to roll for multiple houses at once (lets say we pay upfront and get money back when you lose) could boost there chances considerable you still would have to wait/grind for houses but you could at least do something with your time

Or...they could upgrade the content delivery system as promised when you purchase the game and make housing available to everyone that wants one. (What a novel idea!) A lottery system would just create a whole new set of complaints.

While the lottery system is a good one, I believe that making instance housing would be a better option.

So in the same post, you say it's a somewhat worthwhile idea, then spoil said idea with an easy exploit to rig your chances.

Not a good sell, I'll grant you.

It´s an option for people with more gil but you could always implement it in a way you can only roll for one house at a time that would still be fine (also most high pop servers don´t have more then 1-3 houses open at a time anyway)
